Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations in your hands, arms, legs, or back for weeks or months. Maybe it’s numbness that comes and goes. Maybe it’s tingling that keeps you awake. Maybe your grip isn’t as strong as it used to be, or you’re dropping things more often.
Your primary care doctor ran some basic tests, but you still don’t have real answers. That’s where EMG testing comes in.
Electromyography testing measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves. It tells us exactly where the problem is – whether it’s a pinched nerve, muscle disorder, or something else entirely. You’ll know if it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a herniated disc pressing on nerves, diabetic neuropathy, or another condition that’s been causing your symptoms.
The test gives you concrete information about what’s happening in your body. No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s all in your head. You get clear results that lead to the right treatment plan.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients in Kew Gardens and throughout Queens for years. We understand that nerve symptoms can be frustrating and scary – especially when you don’t know what’s causing them.
Our physicians specialize in spine and nerve conditions. We’ve seen thousands of patients with symptoms just like yours. We know how to interpret EMG results accurately and explain what those results mean for your specific situation.
You’re not just getting a test here. You’re getting answers from doctors who understand exactly what you’re going through and know how to help you move forward.
The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and needle electromyography. Both give us different pieces of information about what’s happening with your nerves and muscles.
First, we do the nerve conduction study. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and we send tiny electrical pulses through your nerves. This measures how fast and how well your nerves are conducting signals. It helps us identify problems like carpal tunnel syndrome or pinched nerves.
Next is the needle EMG portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. This part tells us if the problem is in the muscle itself or in the nerves that control the muscle.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to test. You’ll get results immediately, and we’ll explain what we found and what it means for your treatment options.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing appointment includes a complete evaluation of your symptoms and medical history. We’ll examine the areas where you’re experiencing problems and determine which specific nerves and muscles need to be tested.
You’ll receive a detailed explanation of your results on the same day. If the EMG shows nerve compression, muscle disorders, or other issues, you’ll understand exactly what that means and what your treatment options are.
The testing integrates with NY Spine Medicine’s comprehensive approach to spine and nerve care. If you need additional treatment – whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or other interventions – we can coordinate your care or refer you to the right specialists.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary. Our staff can verify your coverage and explain any costs before your appointment.
